...warned that radio stations in rural and underserved areas offer "more than 38 million Americans with free over-the-air programming they can't find anywhere else." Nothing is "free". Somebody has to pay for it.............

"...arguing that cutting off the annual subsidy could shut down some or all of the 900 public radio stations around the country." Duh! That is the objective!

Free people do not support NPR. By its own admission, it exists only as the result of government compulsion
To: Red_Devil 232

I saw them whining about it on facebook. I told them to quit lobbying and start contributing. That pissed them off.

NPR CEO and President Vivian Schiller warned that radio stations in rural and underserved areas offer "more than 38 million Americans with free over-the-air programming they can't find anywhere else."Guess what lady, a lot of those places don't have stations playing 1970s disco or three hours of comedy every evening or the latest made-up "genre" of the week either. Welcome to the real world.

The premise that, in 2011, Americans - even those in ‘rural’ locations - can’t get (liberal-slanted) ‘news’ anywhere else than NPR is absurd. There is absolutely no justification for taxpayers to be forced to support NPR when at least half of the U.S. population is in opposition to NPR’s blatant left-wing bias. NPR can thank that idiot who was so puffed up with her own power that she summarily fired Juan Williams, a moderate liberal, from NPR, forgetting, as those who live off of other people’s money often do, that NPR was vulnerable to being cut off from the public teat. Now, it is finally going to happen. In my opinion, about 40 years too late.

I thought that subsidies for NPR “were too small to matter.”

If that fails just have a check-off box in the 1040.
